Dover, Del.

A food safety certification course will be held from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. March 29 at the Department of Agriculture offices, 2320 S. DuPont Highway, near Camden.

The class will be for potential on-farm food entrepreneurs. Dr. Sue Snider of the University of Delaware will teach the class. Participants will learn how to identify potentially hazardous and non-potentially hazardous foods; understand foodborne pathogens and ways to control them; reduce the risk of foodborne illness; evaluate their plan for controlling potential microbial problems; and understand state regulations on farm-produced, non-potentially hazardous food items.
